He calls `find $dir -type f`, without a quotemeta on $dir, which perl
will pass to the shell to interpret (and is actually a security issue if
I can convince you to try importing my svn repository with directory ';
rm -rf /;').

I don't in particular have a problem with --allow-empty-message for
casual use. Why anybody would want to use it when they could type the
much shorter -mnone, I don't know. But it is long enough that people
will have to think about using it, which means the people who do so will
probably really want it.
